Ive watched Eric for a number of years now... the thing that stands out in my mind is a few years ago when he was younger, seeing him in the warmup room AFTER the meet was over, or at least after he was done lifting, doing max attempt after max attempt, trying to get a couple more kilos overhead than he did in the competition. If memory serves, the year the schoolage was in Vermont, he not only did this after he was done lifting, but was back in the training room the day after he lifted, again taking max attempt after max attempt. He is certainly motivated, and also, id say fairly stubborn!

awesome lifts, really explosive guy. im wondering if he is going to put weight on as he developes, or stay there. I bet if he put on some more weight he would be even more impressive*** not saying you have to be big to lift great, but I just think that with his height he would be better served with some more weight, not taking anything away from what he is doing cause im just flat out impressed. ***

Haha, thanks for sharing Glenn. He really does have a deep-seated love of just plain lifting heavy things.

Yesterday was my teammate Dan's first meet and he has only been lifting Oly for 7 months. Dan is a former PL and really strong, and he was blown away by Eric Briglia. To see him walking around you wouldn't think he could put that much weight overhead, awesome! Yuen, thanks for the return favor on the jerky and I will see you and Alston at the CT Open.
